One big story after the first two Democratic primary elections is the fast fade of former Vice President Joe Biden, who came in fourth in Iowa and a dismal fifth in New Hampshire. But one other prominent candidate is quickly losing altitude as well: Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Last fall, Warren was more popular than Bernie Sanders and a solid second behind Biden. Her rallies drew thousands and her plans for everything forced competing candidates to plan up. But Warren landed third in Iowa and fourth in New Hampshire, a particularly lousy showing given that she’s from the neighboring state of Massachusetts. Her odds of winning the Democratic nomination are now in the low single digits.
What happened? Three things:
First, Warren backtracked on Medicare for all, the proposed giant health care plan that would eliminate private insurance. As she took a leadership position last fall, critics began to pester Warren to explain how she’d pay for the massively costly program. She finally did explain how—through a new wealth tax on millionaires—but she also low-balled the cost, coming in around $1 trillion less per year than independent estimates. That made it look like Warren was waffling and perhaps mulling other tax hikes, on regular folks, that she wasn’t bothering to mention.
Then, last November, she changed her mind, sort of. Warren announced a new “transition” plan that would start out like the “public option” Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobhuchar favor, and become Medicare for all after a couple of years, as everybody saw how great the public option was. This was far too clever, and it made Warren the only Democrat pandering to both the center and the left. She ended up stranded between the two factions on one of the topics that matters most to Democrats.

Gray Beaver isn’t
Because she doesn’t have any relationship to truth. She lies about things that don’t give her any advantage. She probably doesn’t know how to stop. She clearly has severe mental issues.
If there is such a thing as white privilege, why did Warren pretend to be an Indian for 20+ years?
Dems are racists, they are not going to support a fake Indian.
Hillary was the Queen of Pantsuits.
Lieawatha was the Squaw of Cropped Blazers.
With the same black slacks and black tops, always. Just changes the jacket colors.
Warren as President would expand the permanent unelected government with greater authority to operate and make decisions on its own; like the true Progressive she is.
She is America’s ex-Mother in Law
I think you messed up...or misspelled "TURD"
Because she has high cheek bones?
Perfect first reply to get the thread started. Topical and true, Hat’s off!
She took my $3.
the whole article is hogwash ... warren cratered for the followingreasons:
1. liq kept saying crazier and crazier stuff every day (pretty much like Beto did before imploding, and like Biden is doing now, and he’s sinking because of that too)
2. people finally started paying attention and realized: 1.) liz was saying crazier and crazier stuff every day; 2.) liz was completely inauthentic, both in her personal claims and her political claims; 3.) when people wanted an authentic kommie,they picked Bernie instead ...
I always thought she was a 100% phony with insane socialist policies, but she really went totally bonkers with:
—announcing she would always protect the rights of transgendered illegal aliens!!!! (WTF?!?)
—announcing that her Secretary of Education would have to be approved by a transgender child (....unbelievable.....)
She’s absolutely desperate and she knows she’s finished. But she’s too much of a dope and narcissist to behave like a normal person and quit.
She always looks like she is smelling rotten eggs.
IMHO, that’s a good thing. More efficient.
